Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Anonymous Wikipedia edits are publicly logged with the editor's IP address?

Yes. A Wikipedia project page states that when an unregistered user edited, Wikipedia annotated the edit with the IP address of the computer used, and that these IP addresses were publicly displayed. Two other reference items also describe anonymous Wikipedia edits appearing under the editor's IP address.
